Journal Entry for August 18, 2009 Mood
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 | A General Update story

It's been a busy summer. We went to Iowa for the track nationals. My son placed 7th and 10th in his races : 3000 and 1500. Pretty exciting.

Summer is coming to a close. Kids are back in school next week. Not sure they are really ready for it.

I had a bit of a bad experience lately with a mom from the track team. She bad mouthed me, my son and my family to a friend of mine. She didn't know that this woman was a pretty good friend. She called my son a spoiled brat and said that I think I'm better than everyone else, and that I'm a snob. Cripe. If she really knew me, she'd know that nothing could be further from the truth. Seriously. I emailed her and let her know what I thought of her rantings. I believe that what she says of me is really her projecting her own shit on me. Between her an my sister-in-law, I'm feeling a little beat up. I know that the issues are really there's and not mine, but I seem to be the recipient a lot. My friends from track have come to my aide and tell me not to think another minute about it.

  1. Hi!

    Wow! At least, the woman stands corrected now. She's probably jealous that you're a good mom and that your kids are successful in track.

    I know sometimes I can't help but be envious of other women, when they seem to have it together. It's hard not to envy stay-at-home moms, people with wealth, etc. And sometimes, people show their bitterness outwardly with just outright meanness. Sounds like what this woman might've been doing.

    Congrats on your sons track nationals. Wow! That is really awesome!!!


    Hi!
